I would like to take a moment to give credit where credit is due; I am so grateful to have a fantastic net of people that helped me get where I am.

Thank you to the School of Art at MSU and all of my former professors who have helped me grow my art and my voice alike. I also thank the wonderful community of artists that helped me along the way, encouraging me and giving me honest feedback alike. Fellow painters, ceramicists and other creatives in and out of Bozeman.

I also have special thanks to my film/photo friends, specifically Lex Harold and Sarah Clare Dale, who have collaborated in projects with me and have the most kick-ass skills! (Lex, who I have been working with on his film ‘Hereafters’ and Sarah, who gave me the most incredible grad photos that a BFA could dream of!)

I also cannot thank my friends enough. Kira, Carlos, Bryce, Yuki, Kairi, Kyree, Lucie, friends of school, Tinworks, fellow speech and debate coaches, and so so many more of you that it would take too long to list, but you know who you are. The people that have supported me and my art and that inspire me every day.

Finally, I would like to thank my partner, Jacob, for being there every step of a way. It is so magical sharing love with another artist and I’m so glad it is with you.

And thank you, reader, for being here too. Your ripples are received and cherished as well.
